Inside a circle with radius $6$ lie four smaller circles with centres $A,B,C$ and $D$. The circles touch each other as shown. The point where the circles with centres $A$ and $C$ touch each other is the centre of the big circle. Calculate the area of quadrilateral $ABCD$.

Two not necessarily equal non-intersecting wooden disks, one gray and one black, are glued to a plane. An in finite angle with one gray side and one black side can be moved along the plane so that the disks remain outside the angle, while the colored sides of the angle are tangent to the disks of the same color (the tangency points are not the vertices). Prove that it is possible to draw a ray in the angle, starting from the vertex of the angle and such that no matter how the angle is positioned, the ray passes through some fixed point of the plane.

A lattice point in the plane is a point both of whose coordinates are integers. Each lattice point has four neighboring points: upper, lower, left, and right. Let $k$ be a circle with radius $r \geq 2$, that does not pass through any lattice point.
